@glyph Sometimes 100 lines of crappy code makes for a happy evening.
My Benevity.org yearly donation summary is super accountant-unfriendly: 2 PDF pages per donation, in completely random order, aggregated per calendar year (whereas the Australian tax year runs July to June). 45 minutes with pypdf later I can extract a tax year's worth of donations into a spreadsheet summary plus date-ordered PDF of receipts.
Happy arbitrarily chosen day of the year. #FunTech4Glyph
@glyph @mcc I have been developing in Python over 20 years but have always been leery of UI work due to the complexity of Tkinter and GTK APIs. Last year I surveyed the options for RAD GUI tools and landed on #PySimpleGUI. Over a few months I was able to iteratively develop and enhance a SQL query tool of modest complexity and found joy in accomplishing the task. No longer intimidated I am now exploring other options such as #Streamlit and #Textual
For OPSEC reasons I cannot disclose whether I recently had, or may soon have, a birthday, but I probably was born at some point. In honor of that fact and inspired by @mcc's excellent #Glitch4Andi hashtag, if you are so inclined, please post a story about or picture of a time (ideally in the last ~year) that a computer did something cool and fun and improved your life in some way, using the hashtag #FunTech4Glyph .
(Bonus points if it looks cool and/or uses Python, but very much not necessary.)
